lyrics

Been standing in the rough for way too long.
So soundly try to bury you there.
You follow my footprints for years in this fog.
My hours turn to days that are gone.

My quiet love, carried in my arms.
My forked tongue can do so much more than cause me harm.

This is not mine,
When you're not here.
Standing on a chair,
I see myself through the window outside looking scared.

I roll three dice carved out of bone
and you shuffle an old deck of cards.
Now the dinner bell is calling you home
and our game has gone to the dogs.

My old friend, you gotta carry on.
My forked tongue don't know the difference between right and wrong.

This is not mine,
When you're not here.
Standing on a chair,
I see myself through the window outside looking scared.
I see myself through the window outside looking scared.
I see myself through the window outside looking scared.
